context_page_description: Dellin Betances is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball. Before joining the Mets in 2020, he had played for the New York Yankees between 2011 and 2019. Betances was named an MLB All-Star from 2014 to 2017.
context_section_description: Betances made the Yankees' Opening Day roster in 2014. He was elected to his first All Star Game in 2014, becoming the first Yankees rookie pitcher—along with teammate Masahiro Tanaka—to earn an All-Star Game nod since Spec Shea in 1947.
  On September 17, 2014, Betances struck out Kevin Kiermaier in the eighth inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Rays to notch his 131st strikeout, surpassing Mariano Rivera's Yankees team record for strikeouts by a relief pitcher, set in 1996. Betances did so pitching 20 innings fewer than Rivera.
  Despite the physical height listed above for him in high school, Betances was listed on the Yankees' 2014 roster as being 6-foot-8, which is why he chose his uniform number of 68. In 2014, Betances made 70 appearances out of the bullpen with a 5–0 record, a 1.40 ERA, and his 135 strikeouts led the majors amongst all relief pitchers. Betances finished in 3rd place in voting for the American League Rookie of the Year Award, behind Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker and White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu.
